If there’s one thing that One Piece collectors can’t get enough of, it’s figures of Tony Tony Chopper (just ask any One Piece merchandiser–they’ll tell you)! And so, Bandai Japan has now opened up orders for their first One Piece Figuarts Zero 2015 limited exclusive figure: the One Piece Figuarts Zero Tony Tony Chopper Omaera Genkika Konoyaro Ver. figure (wow, that’s a real mouthful)! Ordinarily these Tamashii Web exclusives will cost you a fortune to import, but this specific Japan web-exclusive Figuarts Chopper is available for a great price in the United States–for now!

Alright, the worst-kept secret in all of One Piece is now officially out of the bag for both readers and watchers of One Piece: Sabo is alive!

We got our first glimpse of the grown-up version of Luffy’s only surviving brother in the One Piece 15th Anniversary Special two weeks ago, and now the Sabo figure floodgates can officially open! Bandai will be among the first companies to strike, as the Bandai One Piece Figuarts Zero figure is scheduled to be released in January 2015!

I try desperately hard to keep this site as spoiler-free as absolutely possible for One Piece fans who only watch the One Piece anime and don’t read the One Piece manga. Unfortunately, we’re about to come to a tsunami of One Piece figure announcements that’s going to make being spoiler-free ridiculously difficult.

If I have one big regret as far as One Piece collectibles go, it’s that the Bandai SH Figuarts One Piece figures line was a total flop. I love super-articulated figures, and it hurts me to this day that no super-articulated action figures of the whole Straw Hat Pirates crew exists.

MegaHouse surprised us at the Spring 2014 MegaHobby Expo, when they unexpectedly debuted an all-new version of an old favorite: Portgas D. Ace! There’s a lot of pressure on MegaHouse to make the One Piece POP 10th Anniversary Portgas D. Ace figure the best version of Ace ever, and at the Summer 2014 Wonder Festival, we got to see that they were well on their way to making this piece a success! And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived–the One Piece P.O.P Portgas D Ace 10th Anniversary figure is now up for order!
